The Urban Grind

The things people do to be “creative” and open minded! Gross!

The name of this chef is Daniel Angerer, and place is called the Klee Brasserie, located in the chi chi neighborhood of Chelsea.

Here he is.

After blogging about his efforts with the human cheese, customers started demanding a sample, he said.

“The phone was ringing off the hook,” the chef said. “So I prepared a little canapé of breast-milk cheese with figs and Hungarian pepper.”

Only in Manhattan!

Since the restaurant began offering customers a taste, Mason has been inundated with creepy queries, she said.

“Some people who clearly have issues have . . . e-mailed me saying, ‘I wasn’t breast-fed as a child, so can I taste your breast milk?’ ” she said.

Mason politely declines the offer.

“I’m not here to walk people through their psychological problems,” she said.

What does he think he’s doing by serving other people dairy dishes made with his wife’s breast milk?

It’s called Zaytuna College. And they’re looking for students for their first freshman class.

Whenever people ask me if I follow any sports, I always tell them I enjoy watching figure skating. It’s especially fun to watch during the Olympics. Otherwise, I’m one of those people who would rather go out their and engage in some kind of sport, rather than just passively watching. As a teenager, I used to play *lots* of tennis. And I used to do some ice skating as well.

The thing I like most about figure skating is that it’s a combination of an athletic and an artistic competition. The added bonus is you get to check out the hair and makeup too.

Anyway, two nights ago, I was watching the ice dancing pairs long program, where I saw some horrendous costumes. It was quite a shame since the skaters were all attractive. Furthermore, the wild costumes actually distracted from the actual routines.

The first example is the Russian pair Domnina and Shabalin, who I believe will receive a bronze medal. Here’s the aborigine costume they wore for their short program. They actually had to tone down their costume, which caused some offense to aborigine groups.

Here was their equally outrageous costume for their long program.

Also, I’m sure Ms. Domnina is an attractive woman. But you just can’t tell with all that’s going on in her costumer. along with her way-too-bright blonde hair. I read in one article that they were disappointed with their score. No doubt the judges were distracted by the weird costumes.

Anyway, Domnina and Shabalin weren’t the only ones with horrendous costumes.

The other pairs coupe with terrible costumes was Belbin and Agosto. Let me just say that Tanith Belbin is drop dead gorgeous. But still, it’s no excuse to have wear such distracting costumes.

Here’s a video of Belbin and Agosto skating at nationals. They wore almost the exact costume for their short program in the Vancouver Olympics.

For me, the lifts looked especially awkward with all those ruffles on Tanith’s skirt.

Here’s what they wore for their long program. You can’t really see from this photo, but there was way to much going with these costumes.

Unlike these two pairs, the Canadian team of Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir both looked amazing, and skated beautifully. They won the gold. This is what they wore for their long program. As you can see, it’s simple and elegant. The focus is on the skaters movements, rather than all the ruffles and other regalia on their costumes. Virtue and Moir are the couple on the right.

Isn’t diversity great? (Snort!)

The U.S. military either can’t or won’t accept the fact that putting Muslims in their ranks is like having a fox guarding a hen house. Therefore these fifth columnists are tolerated and sought after, no matter how much damage they cause. This time, five Muslims working in the Arabic Translation program were arrested just before Christmas, for trying to poison the Ft. Jackson SC food supply.

CBN News has learned exclusively that five Muslim soldiers at Fort Jackson in South Carolina were arrested just before Christmas. It is unclear whether the men are still in custody. The five were part of the Arabic Translation program at the base.

The men are suspected of trying to poison the food supply at Fort Jackson.

A source with intimate knowledge of the investigation, which is ongoing, told CBN News investigators suspect the “Fort Jackson Five” may have been in contact with the group of five Washington, DC area Muslims that traveled to Pakistan to wage jihad against U.S. troops in December. That group was arrested by Pakistani authorities, also just before Christmas.

Now some of you might be thinking “Zelda, we need Muslims in the military. They know the language and the customs. So what else can we do?”

To that I say baloney!

There are plenty of American Jews and Christians of Middle Eastern ancestry who know Arabic. They should be hired instead of these Muslims, who are nothing but eternal malcontents.

In this week’s issue of Time Out New York, there’s a list of about fifty of the most stylish New Yorkers. Now being that this is Time Out New York magazine, they chose mostly young people in the arts. Some of them are just OK. Some of them look like they put together odds and ends from thrift shops. And a few of them look like they should be on the show “What Not To Wear.”

Click here to check them out. Let me know what you think.

Just so you know where I stand, here’s one example of what I think is one of the most stylish women in New York — the socialite Marina Rust Connor.

Right now, I’m sitting at my computer and browsing for Firefox extensions. Under the category of news, blogs and feeds, I found something called ObamaFox.

I guess some people still just can’t get enough of the guy, despite the media still fawning over him.

Congressman John Murtha, who called our troops cold blooded killers has died.

WASHINGTON (AP) – A spokesman says Democratic Rep. John Murtha of Pennsylvania, a retired Marine Corps officer who became an outspoken critic of the Iraq war, has died. He was 77.

He had been suffering complications from gallbladder surgery.

In 1974, Murtha became the first combat veteran of the Vietnam War elected to Congress. He wielded considerable clout for two decades as a leader of the House subcommittee that oversees Pentagon spending. But frustration over the Iraq war led him to call for an immediate pullout of U.S. troops in 2005.

Murtha’s congressional career was clouded by questions about his ethics—from the Abscam corruption probe in 1980 to more recent investigations into the special-interest spending known as earmarks and the raising of cash for election campaigns.

Considering how politically correct Americans have become, it’s no surprise that these terrorists are getting bolder and bolder. Now the fanatics are acting out on trains.

LA JUNTA, Colo. – An Amtrak passenger who alarmed fellow passengers in Colorado by allegedly talking about terrorist threats on a cell phone was pulled from the train and faces a felony charge of endangering public transportation.

Ojore Nuru Lutalo, 64, who was recently released from prison, was arrested Tuesday on an Amtrak passage from Los Angeles to Chicago. Passengers on the train alerted authorities after allegedly hearing the man from Elizabeth, N.J., mention al-Qaida and make threats in a cell phone conversation.

Lutalo, freed Thursday on $30,000 bond and now in Denver, denies mentioning al-Qaida or making any threats.

Police said in an affidavit that passengers overheard Lutalo saying he hadn’t killed anyone yet, and that he talked about going to jail.

Passengers say the man said, “We have to work in small groups. They can hold you for 18 months. Do they have security on these trains? Are you with me or not?”

One passenger said he heard Lutalo mention al-Qaida, saying, “17th century tactics won’t work, we have 21st century tactics.”

The conductor said Lutalo had a tan blanket over his entire body so the conductor could not see what he was doing.

Lutalo was taken into custody at the La Junta train station in southeastern Colorado. Police said he was not armed or carrying explosives. He was carrying propaganda for an anarchist group called Afrikan Liberation Army.

Here’s yet another incident that occurred occurred on a plane.

29 January 2010: A South Jersey woman got the scare of her life when she tried to report suspicious activity on board a plane Philadelphia International Airport.

The woman shared details of her terrifying ordeal only with Fox 29 News on Wednesday.

Now, she’s wondering if it was some kind of sick joke or a test run for a terrorist.

Fox 29’s Dave Schratwieser reported that 12 days after her red-eye flight from Los Angeles, the US Airways passenger is still upset over an incident on her flight, the reaction to it by the flight crew, and the lack of reaction from authorities.

“I was trembling, and I was just completely frightened,” said the mother of three.

She won ‘t soon forget her latest US Airways flight from L.A. to Philadelphia after she encountered a passenger on board who scared the daylights out of her.

“He starts talking to himself. Then he goes, ‘Detroit, huh-huh-huh,’ like that, and it was really, really frightening,” she said.

The woman, who asked to remain anonymous, said the passenger was Muslim and repeatedly made a reference to the latest terrorism incident in Detroit on Christmas Day with the so called “underwear bomber.”

The passenger immediately told a flight attendant, who then told the pilot before the plane even left the gate.

What the flight attendant said next shocked the passenger: “‘The pilot has asked me to ask you if you think we should leave the gate.’ And I looked at her, and I said, ‘What?’”

The woman told Fox 29 News no one from the flight crew spoke to the man or investigated further. Then, the pilot made a call to the flight attendant.

The passenger said the flight attendant, “Looks at me and says, ‘We need an answer.’ … She’s like, ‘We’re gonna go, but I’ll keep an eye on him.’” Zelda adds: How lame of that pilot to ask a passenger about what should have been done with a suspicious Muslim passenger. That pilot should have had the man immediately thrown off the flight.

The flight took off. The woman sat terrified for five hours all of the way to Philadelphia.

Then, just before the plane landed, the pilot ordered everyone to remain seated. The passenger said that’s when the man got up, walked to the rear of the plane and put his backpack in an overhead bin, then went to the bathroom.

“I’m like, ‘This is it, this is how I’m gonna die,’” she said.

No one questioned the woman or the suspicious passenger in Philadelphia.

When she tried to report it to the Transportation Security Administration, Homeland Security, US Airways, even the FBI, she got nowhere.

“He listened to my entire story, never took my name, the flight information, nothing, and told me that, if there was an issue, US Air would have contacted them,” the woman said. Zelda adds: No doubt those people were terrified of offending Muslims and being accused of ethnic/racial profiling.

The woman said US Airways told her if the man got through security, there’s nothing to worry about. Zelda adds: That Nigerian underwear bomber also got through security! It was only his ineptness and stupidity that prevented hundreds of people from getting killed.

A TSA spokesperson told Fox 29 that if you have an incident like this onboard a flight you should immediately report it to a TSA customer service person at the airport when you arrive. Zelda adds: Yeah right. They’ll only blow you off.

Fox 29 is waiting for a response from US Airways.
